  • Reminds me of a guy I used to work with. Any time he got frustrated with our manager, he’d mutter to himself, “Everyone gets one.”

    The way he explained it to me is, everyone is allowed to murder one person. You might suffer some real bad consequences as a result, but if you can stomach those consequences, no one can really stop you from doing just one murder.

    The quick and dirty way to check your usage is to replace “who” with “he” and “whom” with “him.” If it makes a functional sentence, you’re probably right.

    “Whom is quicker?” becomes “Him is quicker.” Not good.

    “Who is quicker?” becomes “He is quicker.” That works.

    By contrast: “This graffiti was done by whom?” becomes “This graffiti was done by him.”
